NightOwl Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If it is who I'm thinking of:Ashida Kim is a white American guy who gave himself a korean name and claimed to be a master of 'Hidden art of the Japanese Ninja' (man, he has his cultures mixed up!). He has since been shown as a fraud and con artist who was just riding the wave of Ninja hype during the 80's.

elbows_and_knees Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 yeah, long story short, he's a fraud. He still teaches to this day though, so apparently someone thinks he has somethng to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sohan Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I perused his website. There is an "interview" from 1991 done with him that is quite hilarious where he expresses admiration for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (they're fictional characters, buddy!):"...the Turtles themselves are special, elite, and possess covert power that must be hidden from the 'normal' world, yet another powerful incentive to follow them for those who feel outcast, downtrodden, and disenfranchised, ...."What the?....hahahah!!!!Funny, and scary stuff at the same time. I can't believe anyone would follow this nut.http://ashidakim.com/With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

I wonder if he ever watched the cartoon?http://ashidakim.com/I opened the website, saw the picture on the top left, in just the "ninja mask," and immediately closed the site! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbows_and_knees Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 he has a standing challenge, where if you put up 10,000 bucks, he will fight you. somewhere online, you can find vids of him fighting someone, but the fight looks staged.
